Rulon® Fluoropolymer Bearings & Machined parts
RULON® composites are ideal for non-lubricated, high-load bearing applications in a variety of climates and operating environments, exhibit a high load capacity similar to bronze, powdered metal and steel, and provide longer wear and extended operating life without the costs associated with lubrication. RULON® materials also do not rust like metal components, so you can use them in applications where traditional metals corrode and fail. You will find Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics bearing materials being used in aerospace, agricultural machinery, automotive, construction, industrial, marine, railway, and material handling equipment. The most popular grades are Rulon® LR, Rulon® J and Rulon® 641.
Meldin® polyimide parts
Meldin® series of polyimide thermoplastics materials retain their critical properties over a temperature range from cryogenic through +315°C for continuous operation, and may be used intermittently up to +482°C. Superior strength and rigidity, combined with self-lubricating properties, provide long, maintenance-free service for critical applications in engines, medical devices, aircraft and aerospace systems, electronic apparatus, and industrial equipment, to name just a few. Meldin® is available as rod, sheet or machined parts. The most used grades are the Meldin® 7000 series.
OmniLip™ PTFE Rotary Shaft Seals
Saint-Gobain Seals has a complete line of metal-cased lip seals with many PTFE and PTFE blended sealing elements. These seals were designed to bridge the gap between conventional elastomer lip seals and mechanical face seals. OmniLip™ seals can endure hostile environments, unlike elastomer lip seals, but similar to mechanical face seals. In addition, OmniLip™ seals can be manufactured at a much lower cost than mechanical face seals.
OmniSeal®
OmniSeal® are high-performance spring-energized polymer seals capable of handling extreme service conditions. They are used where ultra-low friction, chemical compatibility and extreme temperature is required. Originally developed to meet severe conditions encountered in turbine engines, rockets and missiles, and later to serve the most challenging oil and gas applications. Today, OmniSeal® spring-energized seal products are accepted for use in a wide range of applications. OmniSeal® products are designed to fit in all standard hardware glands such as MIL-G-5514, AS4716, Industrial, Metric, JIS, and custom gland sizes. OmniSeal® products are available from 1.00mm up to 1500mm and beyond.
Dynalip® Rotary Lip Seals
Dynalip® seals have many PTFE and PTFE blended sealing elements. These Saint Gobain seals were designed to bridge the gap between conventional elastomer lip seals and mechanical face seals.These PTFE seals can endure hostile environments, unlike elastomer lip seals, but similar to mechanical face seals. In addition, Dynalip® seals can be manufactured at a much lower cost than mechanical face seals.
